Introduction EBUA Home Study Your progression as an umpire is dependent on self learning with support from our Training & Development Team. This manual will assist you in your learning throughout your career as an EBUA Umpire. Study each chapter in turn and follow the tips and home study guides. The accompanying DVD is divided into the same chapters and is a visual accompaniment to the manual. When you are satisfied that you have learnt all you can in any chapter, you should attempt the questions in the Workbook. You can use whatever sources of information you choose in order to arrive at your answers – you can even contact the Training Team for advice. When you have completed the questions post your Workbook back to the Training Administrators who will mark it and provide you with feedback on your result. This assessment will form the first stage of your training process. Throughout the manual you will find a number of useful info-boxes. They are colour coded to assist you.
